We want you to get the best price for your holiday accommodation, and the best way to do that is to book directly with us!

If you found us on Airbnb then you paid 20% TOO MUCH!

If you found us on Booking.com then you paid 15% TOO MUCH!

If you found us on Stayz then you paid 14% TOO MUCH!

These are all foreign-owned and operated companies; that extra you paid goes straight out of the country. Put the money back in YOUR pocket instead of sending that money overseas.

These sites have flashy marketing campaigns and websites, but they offer no additional booking security or reassurances beyond what we’re already bound by as licenced Real Estate Agents under Australian Consumer Law.

Everything is exactly the same when you book directly with us. Same property, same service from us, same bonds, same check-in information, check-in time and booking terms. You Simply PAY LESS!

Our deposit, payment, cancellation, and rebooking terms are in fact better for guests than these 3rd party sites.

Think of what you could do with those extra savings?

Lift tickets, new gear, dining out, fuel for the drive to Thredbo: there are so many better options than paying it to a website whose headquarters are overseas! That’s right, that extra that you paid just goes straight out of the country.

The owner of the property gets paid the same, our property managers get paid the same, the cleaners get paid the same, we just want you to get the best deal.

You can still get these savings and put the money back in your pocket!

Please follow the relevant instructions below to cancel on the website where you booked and rebook with us directly. Alternatively, you can call our office on 02 6448 8888. We are located in the heart of the Snowy Mountains, Jindabyne and we can talk you through the process.

Please take a look through our website to confirm this is not a scam. Our website also features so much more than these 3rd party websites. On our site, you have access to full property video walkthroughs, 3D virtual tours where you can physically stand inside the property and 2D floor plans.

You can also view all our managed properties in one place to make sure it is the right property for you.

How to cancel and rebook on Airbnb

If you wish to cancel your booking on Airbnb and rebook directly to save, then you need to act fast and ideally within 24 hours.

Step 1: Please cancel the booking on your side.

Within 24 hours of booking, Airbnb globally allows guests to cancel without any penalty or host approval. Simply jump onto your Airbnb, go to the stay, reservation details, cancel the reservation, select the “I no longer need accommodation” option and then select how you would like them to refund you.

Alternatively, if you ask for property host approval (that’s us) within 24 hours, then we will approve the cancellation without any penalty.

Step 2: Rebook on our site.

Once cancelled, it will take about 1-5 minutes for the availability to update, and then you can simply rebook on our direct site. We have sent you a link to the direct site for your property in the original SMS or you can find it on the live availability calendar below: https://jindabyneskiaccommodation.com.au/availability-at-a-glance/

If you have missed this 24-hour window, then we can still approve and allow for cancellations to rebook directly for up to 48 hours after you booked, but you will simply need to send us a cancellation request

Unfortunately, after 48 hours, we can no longer accept these cancellations, and you will be bound by the original price you paid on Airbnb. After this time, Airbnb can start penalising us as the property host if we approve too many cancellations, so we do need to stick to this timeframe.

These websites handle the original payment and your refund for cancellation, so you will need to pay attention to the refund timeframes they advise you.

How to cancel and rebook on Booking.com

If you wish to cancel your booking on Booking.com and rebook directly to save, then you need to act fast and ideally within 48 hours.

Step 1: Please request to cancel the booking on your side.

Simply jump onto your Booking.com, look for the MANAGE BOOKING section, then CANCELLATION OPTIONS and then REQUEST FREE CANCELLATION. Within a few minutes, we will receive this request and approve it for you to rebook.

Step 2: Rebook on our site.

Unfortunately, after 48 hours, we can no longer accept these cancellations, and you will be bound by the original price you paid on Booking.com. After this time, Booking.com can start penalising us as the property host if we approve too many cancellations, so we do need to stick to this timeframe.
